@drchops: The deal you mentioned is about as good as it gets right now (unless you want a refurb/used). Unless mine was broken, i'd probably wait for a deal where the net price (after gift cards, discounts, etc.) was around:

If you really watch for it, you might find it slightly less than this, but not by much. For example, there was an anomaly when Secondipity.com had the 250GB with Kinect (new) for $268 several weeks ago, but I never figured out if it was misclassified as "new" since they offered a used one for the same price a few weeks later.

@vermi: Yeah, I have my heart set on one of those fancy new "slims" though :D.. on top of all the features, I think it'd be really nice to have a console that didn't sound like it was about the break the sound barrier :)

(My xbox is crazy loud).

@wnyx585am: Cool, that's about the same conclusion I came to too.. pretty much all I need is the console, and I have a 250gb I'm gonna poach from my old 360 :). I'm glad they've came down so much, hopefully by the time this one dies I can find one for like $99 heh

@drchops: Depends on what you want as another wooter mentioned. If you watch, some places still have the "holiday bundle" from this past black Friday (Xbox 360S 250GB w/ Halo: Reach and Fable plus one wireless controller and headset + 3mos of Live gold) new for about $260. That seemed like a good enough deal when I bought.

@wnyx585am: That's what I was wondering.. I thought I remembered seeing a couple deals for like $149 + $50 GC (or somethin' around there) sometime in the later half of last year, but I couldn't remember for sure. If they dip that low again I think I may have to scoop it regardless of how healthy my little buddy is.

Plus, I think we're about due for some kind of Xbox 720 announcement here pretty soon :)

@ki4rxm: Like I mentioned up there ^, I'm just after a console. If a super-great deal comes along for not much more or comes with something I could use I'm always open to possibilities :).. that bundle seems a little pricey. Is that extra $100 just for the bonus games and 250gb HDD? Is there a Kinect bundled too? Because that wouldn't be too bad.

i have been away from Xbox360 for a long time. i am a senior student. i once was addicted to this game and spent a lot of time on it. And it affected my study so much. i tried hard to get away from it and i did it. so cool!

@drchops: I got the 4GB slim and used the drive from my 250GB original. Just gotta remove the drive from the old caddy and slide it into the new system. I built a kind of brace with cardboard (otherwise, the drive flops around a little, and that's unacceptable for the obvious reasons).

(It's a HDD case)
eBay is littered with em.. they have ones that are a little cheaper and ones that are from US sellers, just gotta check around. US will probably be a little more expensive, but ship a lot faster.

@drchops: I didn't really look into it before, thanks! I'd assumed they'd be more expensive. I think the full-size 360 HDD cases that I found a few years ago were $15-20 apiece. I'm willing to pay $3 for the sake of being "correct" (and possible putting less tension on the console's plastic), but if it had been over $10, well...it's not like you can see the cardboard, haha

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
